By This question was posed the other day and it got me thinking about the hundreds of little, seemingly meaningless ways we can improve both ourselves and our businesses by thinking small. Recently, I bought a new car and was pleased that the brand I'd been buying had decided to bring back the tiny sun glass case that flips down behind the rear view mirror. It was eliminated from my last car, but now it's back. "You wouldn't believe how many complaints we got when they took it away." Said the salesman. Really. Something that simple?

This Issue's Question: Who Releases EVERLINE® Sign Tube For Simple Outdoor LED Replacement? Meeting Everyone’s Needs with Visual Signaling Devices Chuck Ross Deaf and hearing-impaired individuals can face special challenges in emergency situations – just hearing a fire, smoke or carbon monoxide alarm can be difficult or impossible. Some alarms feature extra-loud annunciators, which might be helpful for those with relatively minor hearing disabilities, but the deaf need signaling devices that require no dependence on hearing, whatsoever. IDEA Partners with ElectricSmarts on eCatalog James R. Dukart The Industry Data Exchange Association, Inc. (IDEA) has developed an electronic catalog partnership with ElectricSmarts to help electrical contractors and equipment manufacturers streamline parts ordering. The campaign is designed to better equip the electrical supply chain to use pricing data available in the Industry Data Warehouse (IDW) through Smart eCat, powered by ElectricSmarts, a web-based national list price catalog populated with complete, high-quality product and pricing data directly from the IDW. Signaling Device’s Modular Design Helps it Meet Many Needs Chuck Ross Signaling devices often are thought of in terms of emergencies, for example, as the strobe lights and klaxons that alert building occupants to the presence of life-threatening smoke, fire or carbon monoxide. But, actually, signaling products are around us every day – think of the lane signs over a banks drive-through lane or the flashing light that turns on as a cashier becomes available at your local big box store.
